EXPECTED GOALS [xG]

TALKING POINTS

Kerala Blasters had an injury/suspension stricken FC Goa reduced to 10 men and were in the lead only to throw it all away in stoppage time.

Late drama in the ISL again with tired legs, lack of composure helping the away side salvage a point even after being reduced to 10 men.

What Mourtada Fall gives, he taketh away: Mourtada Fall scored on one end and then got himself sent off at the other end. The defender has goal-scoring moments and last ditch tackles and clearances, but he almost always seems to be involved whenever Goa concede.

With Coro and co missing, Goa lacked impetus in attack. They were mostly involved with cycling possession without real penetration as is evident from their xG flatlining on the night.

More introspection needed for Kerala Blasters as the team tends to have lapses in concentration. They still aren’t cohesive enough as a team and yet again they are closer to the bottom of the table than they are to the top.
